(a) Prior to 1995, life expectancy was based on annual life tables calculated by the ABS. From 1995 to 1998, the life tables were produced as a joint venture between the ABS and the Australian Government Actuary. For Census years, the Australian Government Actuary also produces life tables. See paragraph 45 of the Explanatory Notes for more information.

(b) From 1995 onwards, life expectancy has been calculated using three years of data.
